What's On Your Work Desk? Wednesday 292

It's Wednesday already I can't believe how quickly this week is going by. I'm sure January is supposed to be a long month and the weeks drag by. Oh well never mind here we are for another WOYWW #292. Pop over to the Stamping Ground and I'm sure Julia will tell you all about it. So what's on my desk this wet and cold Wednesday? This is how I left my desk last night. You can see the 2 eye studies I did in pan water colours (Daler Rowney) for the 30 paintings in 30 Days challenge hosted by Leslie at Slices of Life. One of my goals for 2015 is to become friends with pan and tube water colours and also to study the facial features to help improve my face drawings.

Here are a close up of the eyes. As you can see this eye is far too wide.

This one is much better and more in proportion. I worked out that the white parts of the eye were approx half the width of the iris. Of course I'm well aware that everyone has different size eyes.

Thank you for visiting and leaving the comments each one is read and replied to.

Thanks for visiting my blog today, Anita! I saw these beautiful paintings of yours on Facebook and I'm glad to learn a bit more about them now. I'm always amazed how that little bit of white reflection brings the eyes to life. I look forward to seeing your follow-up projects in this challenge. Happy WOYWW!
